After hearing about these people Minky has been having a bit of a sulk – and has taken to wearing shorts to the office!

One of our clients has all his company mail delivered to a UK mailing address at Denby House, where my office is. We filter out the junk, pay in his cheques and send him (via email) the important bits, so he only deals with the items that are vital to his business, saving him time and money. He gets a great service, improved cash flow because he doesn’t have to wait for his cheques to get to him before they get paid in and an extra hour on the beach – he’s based in Southern Europe!

If anything critical turns up (like bank cards or cheque books) then we post them over straight away, but for his general post we just bundle it all up once in a while and send it.

I was asked on a forum about mailing addresses a little while back – the person posting felt that it might be unethical to hide where your business is. My opinion (and that’s all it is) is that by having a mailing address you are providing a method of contacting you by post, nothing more – it’s no different to having someone answer your phone… (which we can also look after for you)

Doesn’t this sound like an ideal way to run your business? – I’m starting to like the sound of “our Florida office”

As Adam and the Ants once said! (Sorry if anyone under the age of 35 hasn’t even heard of them)

Been having great fun this morning trying to connect people on Facebook, but I think we’re all sorted now…

This particular exercise was social but it has got me wondering just how much use all this social networking is for business???

I have a Twitter page, a Facebook profile, an Ecademy profile and post to umpteen forums on all sorts of topics. I quite enjoy it and find it useful for GETTING information, but just how useful is it for GIVING information??? Is anyone really interested in what I had for lunch??? Or am I just old???

It’s easy to spend hours on social networking (ask any teenager!) but is it a productive use of business hours??? I’m trying it out – partly because I actually have time at the moment while recovering from my op. I’ll let you know how I get on…
